We Might Be Millennials

Scott Kalwei gets his podcasting cherry popped. Those are his words, not mine. Kalwei opened Ruins Pub in 2015, inspired by his travels throughout Budapest and eager to invigorate and accommodate the Kansas City community. Ruins Pub is an avant garde beer enthusiast’s mecca, where Hungarian and American cuisine intersect and 40-plus craft beers are available through self-serve taps, in addition to a full bar. This one-of-a-kind pub features brews sourced locally and internationally, and a menu of over 100 unique meals, with regular specials and events supporting local artists, businesses and innovators. In this interview, Nate & Scott explore his process developing the pub’s menu, discuss the challenges he’s faced -- finding the balance integrating Midwestern familiarity and cultural authenticity, and briefly analyze our roles as consumers. “At the end of the day, everyone wants to be happy and enjoy life.” ~Scott We go on to discuss his experiences as a globetrotter following his departure from the corporate world, and revel in his formula for success - or lack thereof - as a millennial entrepreneur having established one of Kansas City's most eclectic bars; that he hopes to make even more weird!
